Lone Wolf McQuade
- What a glorious hot mess
- Everything good and bad about a 1980s movie
- Essentially a set-up for "Chuck Norris vs David Carradine"
- Everything else - didn't make a lick of sense
- Even that showdown - didn't make a lick of sense. A life-and-death showdown - and both contestants took multiple options to give the other guy a chance.
-- And then, finish it by throwing a fucking grenade? Weak sauce. - Must re-iterate - EVERYTHING good and bad about a 1980s movie - just thrown into a blender
- It's like they saw the success of every other movie of around that time, misunderstood the cause/effect, and then just threw it together into a movie
Fucked up, beautiful hot mess. I got drunk just by watching it. Can't even think of a better way to describe 3.5 <something about plot-jumps> out of 5 <plot clumsinesses>

No mention of Barbara Carrera ?

So watched a few movies yesterday so here goes
The Flash - the one that took ages to get to done. Is this a comeback for DC? Marvel have looked off the boil of late and this was actually an enjoyable watch with many cameos, including a very good Michael Keaton. The plot is based on the Flash’s speed to travel in time and thus creating/explaining the DCU version of the multiverse. So although a lot of the story is conveniently done before it is done extremely well with a mix of old and new material. Really well done even if a bit of CGI not done that well 3.5 out of 5
Sisu - reminds me of the John Wick movies, a man with nothing left to lose goes on a rampage against some Nazis. Quite good, but given a few write ups was expecting a bit more than what I watched. Still an enjoyable violent death count 3 out of 5
Shazam, fury of the gods - can see why this was not like by critics, if I wasn’t on a plane looking for something I had not seen, may have not even have watched it. Highlight was the credits where even “the peacemaker” cast didn’t want him. 2 out of 5

I’ve heard good things although I’m slightly wary as it stars Denzils son who has been in nothing but crap, hopefully he turns it around here.

He is sooooo fucking good in this. So good.

I watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It did feel like a bit of a victory lap, with cameos from familiar characters, and a sort of play on the Temple of Doom with the young sidekick. I did enjoy it, Madds Mickelson was great, I felt it was a nice way to end Harrison Ford's era in the franchise. 4 Nazis out of 5 Centurions

Your anti Denzil's boy shtick seems so weird to me. He's been good in everything I've seen him in.

The only other movie he's been that I've seen is Malcolm X, 30 fucking years ago!

It’s not him, it’s the movies.
Then again I just remembered Amsterdam was decent and given this is directed by the guy who has done the best Star Wars Movie of recent memory I’ll definitely give it a hoon.

Missed this post, both those movies are better than Amsterdam. I think you and I were the only two people on the planet who like Amsterdam.
